“Be Ready” is a recurrent theme at Case IH. “Agriculture is evolving at a rapid pace and Case IH recognizes the challenges farmers face, from feeding an expanding global population, to producing more food on fewer acres,” says Sam Acker, Manager of Pricing and Programs, Case IH North America and former FFA member. “Our legendary red brand helps farmers and ranchers to be ready with the equipment and support that contributes to their success in meeting the future head-on.

“For more than 60 years Case IH has been supporting FFA’s mission to help its members be ready for the challenges and opportunities confronting the agriculture industry,” continues Acker. “Like FFA, Case IH represents a tradition of leadership, so our sponsorship of the American FFA Degree and New Century Farmer programs is a natural fit. That’s gratifying to me as former FFA member.”
